tlb_remove_tlb_entries(9)

💅 tlb_remove_tlb_entries(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a tiny little function with a big job and honestly it's giving "quiet luxury" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tlb_remove_tlb_entries — remember unmapping of multiple consecutive ptes for later tlb invalidation.

like, it's literally the "don't forget this happened" note-taker 📝 so the tlb can get invalidated later. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tlb_remove_tlb_entries (struct mmu_gather *tlb , pte_t *ptep ,
unsigned int nr , unsigned long address );

the way it returns void... it doesn't return anything, it just does things. main character energy fr fr 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

so about the args… the manpage is being super mysterious about these, no cap:

• tlb — -- undescribed -- 🙈
• ptep — -- undescribed -- 🙈
• nr — -- undescribed -- 🙈
• address — -- undescribed -- 🙈

ngl the docs just did not elaborate on these four. that's it, that's the tea 💀 no invented details here, we don't do that. if the source doesn't say, we don't say 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. It's basically tlb_remove_tlb_entry's louder, more extra sibling — similar to tlb_remove_tlb_entry, but instead of remembering the unmapping of only a single one, it remembers the unmapping of multiple consecutive ptes. 🎯

like, one pte? cute. a whole consecutive run of them? now we're talking. it remembers them all for later tlb invalidation, and that's the whole vibe. iconic behavior honestly 👑
